XRP Breaks Free With Double-Digit Gains — Flips USDT in Market Shake-Up
TL;DRThe graph above clearly demonstrates the price stagnation XRP had to endure for the past month or so. Its upper boundary was at around $2.6, while it also tested the lower one at $1.9 during the darkest hours of the war between Israel and Iran.Nevertheless, each attempt met immediate rejections, and the cryptocurrency was pushed south to a tight range between $2.2 and $2.3. However, there were multiple signs that the consolidation could be coming to an end, and one analyst evenwarnedthat most traders will miss the breakout.Such a price surge indeedstarted to materializein the past few days, and especially today. XRP has been among the top performers on a daily scale, having surged by 20% at one point and coming close to $3 on most exchanges.Although it was stopped there and now sits just under $2.8, it’s still up by over 12% since yesterday. Its market cap has spiked above $160 billion for the first time in months, and XRP has now become the third-largest cryptocurrency, by overtaking Tether’s USDT.The move north was quickly picked up by the XRP Army, many of whom praised the asset’s performance and provided some bullish (and outrageous) predictions.$XRP at $2,500 isn’t just a dream.-Because a pump like 2017 would easily clear $2,000Fact: The yearly resistance is now free so expect vertical price discovery. pic.twitter.com/A4G3PasuVk— Crypto Bitlord (@crypto_bitlord7) July 11, 2025
